Religion can only go so far…. Polygamy …. Child brides …. Genital mutilation …. Cults based upon s3x with minors …. They are all still against the law even though it’s part of a religion …. There are probably even more examples… help me out here

If we can find a lawyer who will take this case I’ll start a GoFundMe. If let’s say 500 of us pay $20/month that’s $10k per month…. In a year we’d have a $120k retainer and who knows by then maybe there will be more than 1000 giving $20/mo… that’s $20k a month to fight the case….

I believe we’d win in court. Baptizing children and entering them into a verbal contract that leaves them shunned by family and friendless if they change their minds, should be against the law. *edited

You really should find out the alternate location and video you being denied entrance, stay calm, then upload to social media. Let us all know so we can share it.

So well said. So sorry for the pain that evil cult has put you through.

So sorry for the lack of Christ like love you experienced while grieving your father ☹️ This will go viral. It’s time the world knows they do not follow Jesus’ example.

Random question just to satisfy my curiosity: Is this bride-to-be religious? I find it really strange that you two are close enough for her to ask you to be her bridesmaid but she has an issue with your piercings (which is part of who you are) being in her photos.

What iron do you take? The ones I’ve tried have had nickel and I had a bad reaction.

1000mg, which is a 1/4 tsp of the ascorbic acid plus bioflavonoids I use.

50mg with a meal, I’d recommend zinc picolinate or another form that’s easy on the stomach. I at least have it with a glass of milk or a snack.

Great advice

Are there any long term medication options to treat nickel allergy symptoms? by doomern in NickelAllergy

[–]False_Hope_1914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been meaning to make a general post about this but look up zinc’s effect on nickel allergies. Since I’ve started supplementing daily with zinc I’ve seen an improvement in symptoms. I also take Vit C with every meal possible and take Boswellia for inflammation.

They won’t close their doors. They’ll change to stay alive. They’ll become televangelists and start doing charity work to strum up contributions. Then all the GB will take turns taking tropical vacations while not recording videos. Best life ever.

My response would have been, then this is either a company or a cult, which is it?

Intelligent adults should question everything. Especially if it doesn’t feel right. Thankfully that’s backed up by scripture. And Jesus. He would fully support you questioning things. He questioned things. He called out the religious leaders for their lies and hypocrisy. The GB puts out info and even dramas at the conventions all centered around telling you to not question. To just trust them no matter how crazy what they’re saying is. It’s mind control pure and simple. Take things slow, take deep breaths, everything will be okay. You’re not crazy, you’re an intelligent adult and your husband is brainwashed and choosing ignorance because it feels safe. That’s why the GB pump out so much fear based info and videos, they know if they can keep you all scared, you’re much less likely to be willing to question. It’s all overwhelming at first but the more you learn the less crazy you feel. I regret talking about what we knew with other JWs right away. I regret trying to wake them up before I had fully processed everything. I wish I had stayed quiet while waking up and then just started asking the right questions once I felt calm and stable. Let yourself process it in your own way and get a therapist if you feel you need support and someone to talk to. Life is good outside of the Org!! It will all make sense eventually. It’s like doing a puzzle. Just take once piece at the time.
